Indianapolis - The New
Orleans Saints will have five draft picks in April's NFL draft, one in each of
the seven rounds except the second and seventh rounds, according to the
league's tentative round-by-round order released Thursday afternoon.

The list does not include
compensatory selections, which will be awarded at the bottom of Rounds 3-7 and
announced next month.

The Saints, who hold the 15th
overall pick in the draft, forfeited their second-round pick as part of their
penalties in the infamous bounty scandal and traded their seventh-round pick to
Seattle for linebacker Barrett Ruud.

Along with the 15th
pick, the Saints also have the 75th pick overall (third round), the
12th pick in the fourth round, 11th pick in the fifth
round and the 15th pick in the sixth round.
